When up in Coniston (UK), last week, I came across this Merlin engine from Halifax LL505 which crashed in the nearby hills..

"On October 22nd 1944 at 20:15 hrs precisely, Halifax bomber LL505 crashed into Great Carrs at 2,300 feet and burst into flames. Eight servicemen lost their lives. Seven were Canadian and one British." (Source: Ruskin Museum)

Thought you might be interested. Quite an eye-opener, the construction, especially for so-called 'vintage' technology..
